Hi! I am living in Midlothian Va. near Richmond Va. I have a huge interest in WW2, especially global simulations. I prefer some of the newer mods, I am just getting into TripleA and I spent years developing my own game that is played on board for “The Wargame”. My rules eventually grew to 40 pages, but that includes the basic AxAly rules, pictures and at Times Roman 12 font. I am looking for anyone who wants to play most any version of Axis and Allies within about 50 miles. I look forward to discussions on WW II and game design. I have played a lot of games, but I am new to online. By the way I am 66.

@AndrewAAGamer I am currently playing Tripe A solitaire to get a feel for the game. I plan on contacting some people for Triple A and doing a better job of introducing myself in a week or so. I am so happy to have found this site.

Hi, my name is Jack. I am new to this site. I have played 50th Anniversary Axis and Allies, Axis and Allies original and various versions of “The Wargame” by Jeffery Stein. I loved that board so much that I started making minor changes to rules, which lead to major changes, which lead to frustration. I gave up and spent 2 years writing and rewriting rules, which lead to playtests, which lead to another year of writing and rewriting. Finally in 2019, my friends and I played a great game that everyone enjoyed. (The Allies won when Japan fell. Germany was still kicking A__.) Then Covid happened, then politics happened, and life happened.
I am looking for face to face games within an hour, perhaps more of Richmond Virginia. I am also looking for online opponents of Global 1940 2nd edition.
I love the scale of Axis and Allies, the simplicity of it’s combat and unit production. I have also played Squad Leader, Terrible Swift Sword, Panzer Blitz and a bunch of other stuff. I am working to get up to speed on Global 1940 as it is the most similar to what I was playing.

Hi, my name is Jack. I am looking for face to face games, in or near Richmond Va. Near is within a 50 mile radius of Richmond. Yeah, I am getting desperate. I am currently playing Axis and Allies 1942 online, but excluding than Monopoly or Risk, I am up for anything.

@Panther I am currently playing1940 global war on TripleA. I am not playing anything face to face. My friends have retired from gaming. That was unexpected. I am looking for someone within an hour of Richmond. I have a 1940 Europe game, I would like to play with someone.

@barnee Thanks. I am working on getting started with your link. I have been playing 1942 online, but I miss face to face games.

@barnee 2nd edition 1940

@bakerbei I could make it to Lynchburg for a game of Global 1940.

@barnee Thanks I will look into it.

@MAG Hi, I am in Richmond Va. Want to work out a time for a Triple A game of G40 2nd edition?

I have been having a blast playing this game. I am looking for another player via email. Anyone interested?

@jonathan-rost Yes, although I may just have found a bunch in Mechanicsville.

@Lucasarts456 You can reach me at jack16ft@gmail.com. I am going to be at Waterloo games this coming Saturday at noon.

@bakerbei My email is jack16ft@gmail.com, if you email me, I give you my phone number.

@Imperious-Leader How do I get to your limited Channel?

@Imperious-Leader What I meant was that Italian tanks are cheaper than German tanks in my game and cost less. In the War Game, Germany can buy infantry at a cost of five, while Britain and the USA pay 6. I made French Infantry cheaper by subtracting 1 from their attack rating. I added assault guns, dive bombers, cruisers, militia, and fortifications. Japanese and Italian tanks are cheaper, but less effective. Japanese fighters have greater range, just a lot if little tweaks. I let my Microsoft 365 software expire. I need to buy it again and refresh my memory for a complete list of differences.

The big difference between nations comes in the type of and number of leaders they get and of course money, IPCs, military commerce whatever you call it they have to spend. I was inspired by Panzer General II, Magic the Gathering, The 3rd Reich and a lot of reading.

It was that Big, beautiful Map in The War Game that I loved most. I liked the bigger China most of all. It is good to hear from you Imperious Leader. My best friend built a table specifically to hold that map in place.

I think the War Game by Jeff Stein was an attempt to make a better Axis and Allies. With no G40, that I knew of, I fell in love. If I love something, I have to try to make it better. G40 solves a lot of the problems I was trying to fix in a more elegant way. It is also a much more practical game. I think I could play G40 with just one other person. My game, I will call it Bonfire needs at least 4. It also takes too long. You can get 2 or 3 turns done in about 8 hours. I am going to change it again, because Britain and should be more fun. I am going to add ANZAC and possibly do something else with India. G40 did split India exactly the same way I did in Bonfire, I also added two more Russian territories.
What is special about my game is that each nation has a personality. Unit costs are not uniform, and unit attack and defense are also not uniform. Most major nations have a pool of leaders they can activate when they want, but these leaders only last for at most 3 turns, or for unstable Germany 2. You have to decide when and where you need them. Each nation’s leaders are different. Some are boring and ho hum, some your enemies will fear and some they may secretly endorse.
Russia is much stronger and less likeable in my game. China can be killed but only with great effort. My changes will be to make Britain more fun to play and less of a punishment for past misdeeds.
I am long past the point of trying to sell anything. If you happen to have a The Wargame board to modify or you just want to take a look I will email you my rules for free. Each nation has its own production chart for unit costs and I modified the map by adding a few more lines here and there.
The “Wargame” is a D12 based system and inflation has nearly doubled the cost of everything. As in standard infantry cost 6, not 3.
Real life keeps messing with my hobby! Thank you, guys, for being here. I hope to play something with you soon.

P.S. If you have actually read my rules and have suggestions, I will at first resent it, then appreciate it and may ultimately agree with you. I put a lot of thought and effort into this.
